The news that the Scarlet Castle was going to hold a boxing championship competition quickly spread through the communication network composed of computing orbs. In the ruling network currently established by Murphy, far away in the ancestral forest of Xi Ke Territory, Sharon has been living here in recent days.
The little count immediately became excited when he saw the notice issued by the administrative office.
She is the age group that likes to be lively. Although she is much more stable than her peers because of her experience, when she saw that such a high-profile event was about to be held, she still couldn't restrain her desire to join in the fun.
This large-scale event also seems to mean that the chaotic era of Transia has come to an end, and Murphy's territory is moving towards some kind of order that is taking shape.
The little earl himself is a member of this evolving order.
But Sharon is a manager after all, and she soon realized that this definitely lively event actually had a secondary meaning to her.
"The mountain people of the Ancestral Grove have just joined Transia's system. At this moment when we need to unite and work together to overcome difficulties, it is no longer easy to maintain the previous closed attitude that was beneficial to those outside the system.
So, this is actually an opportunity created by Governor Murphy for the mountain people at this moment, well, absolutely!
This is a good opportunity to promote the mountain people to other ethnic groups, and I can’t let the governor’s kindness go to waste.”
Outside the wooden house at the top of the ancestral forest, Xiao Sharon looked at the forest land filled with heavy fog in the early morning. She flapped her wings to let herself rise in the air. While patrolling the depths of the forest land, she thought in her heart:
"So this time I want to select some mountain warriors to follow me to the Scarlet Castle to participate in the grand event. Firstly, it can reflect the concept that we are also a member of Transia. Secondly, it can allow those warriors from other worlds to see the power of the mountain warriors.
And attract them to develop in the ancestral forest.
With their eagerness to help, life in the woodlands will definitely be much easier for my people."
Sharon felt more and more that her idea was great.
So she quickly flew to the area where Knight Valander was. After becoming a Knight of the Holy Grail in the ancient ceremony, this increasingly powerful guardian of the mountain forest lived alone by the spring in the ancestral forest for the past two days, guarding the place.
The Forest Holy Grail that was sent back.
"Walander! I have a great idea."
Sharon folded her wings and let herself land on the rock next to the spring. Wallander, who had been meditating all night beside the Holy Grail with his legs crossed, also opened his eyes under this call.
Different from the gray pupils before, Wallander's eyes now turned gray-green, which was a sign that the power of nature was gathering in his body.
"You said it, I'm listening."
Wallander showed a rather kind smile, which startled little Sharon. This kind of calm smile had not appeared on the Eagle Knight before. This rough and powerful mountain knight used to have a fiery and fiery character.
This made the little count wonder if the strange Holy Grail had made his guard knight stupid?
Other rituals best grant power, so why does this thing change its personality?
Wallander's son is about to be born!
If this really brings about a huge change in life, a great enlightenment, and conversion to Buddhism, what will Sunny do in the future?
The Eagle Knight seemed to sense the surprise in Xiao Sharon's heart. He waved his hands and explained:
"I'm fine. I'm still the same person. It's just that the ideas conveyed to me by the spirit of the forest through the Holy Grail need time to be digested. I feel more and more that our differences with the Church of Avalon are wrong. Both parties belong to the same source.
It may be the will of the Mother of the Forest that they fell to Transia to rebuild the church.
Ancient beliefs will eventually converge."
"Hey, it's okay if you don't explain. The more you explain, the more scary it becomes!"
Sharon screamed.
She couldn't help but glance at the forest Holy Grail next to Wallander, and thought that this thing indeed had some kind of "magic nature". This strange power made Wallander almost become another person.
But according to Kudel, who is also a Holy Grail Knight, these are normal steps.
The blessing of the Holy Grail will bring him more thoughts about power and the world. As long as he goes through this "growth period", the Green Vulture Knight will return to his original life posture after the power is combined.
The young earl first suppressed his worries and told Wallander his thoughts. The Eagle Knight nodded without much hesitation:
"This is indeed a good opportunity to promote the existence of the mountain people, and we also really need to attract the attention of the Transcian warriors to the Xiko Territory. Sharon, you must not forget the things hidden under the ruins of Xiko City.
We can ignore them now, but before the black disaster comes, we must find ways to solve these hidden dangers.
Those warriors from other worlds have excellent talents and endless courage. No matter what measures we plan to take against the ruins of Xiko City, we must get their help!
This game is a good channel, but I believe you have had contact with them in the Scarlet Keep before and know some of their disturbing characteristics."
The Eagle Knight rubbed his brows and said:
"They are quite realistic. It is difficult to make them willingly serve our cause before they see the benefits. So if we want to attract warriors to the ancestral forest, then we must come up with some rewards that can make them excited.
But the life of the mountain people is close to nature and tradition, and we don’t have enough money ourselves, so we really don’t have that many resources to give gifts to them.”
"Actually, there is!"
The little Earl of Sharon had considered this issue on the way here. Now she was hanging in the air and pointed in the north direction and said to Wallander:
"We can use our contacts with the Western Sabarians in the Ice Bay area to sell some special goods from the Ice Bay to the warriors in the ancestral forest.
Although the barbarian tribes in Ice Bay are poorer than us, they really have a lot of good things there.
The cold iron unearthed from under the ice, the storm pearls found in the frozen sea, the rare materials from the sea monsters they hunted at sea, and even some skill manuals for the barbarians' unique berserker profession.
I know what Murphy's warriors want, and we can hoard these things accordingly.
Oh, right!
There are also crampon bears that the barbarians tame to use as war beasts and mounts. If they like exaggerated things, they will naturally like the furry white beasts that only exist around the frozen sea.
There are also hunters among them.
I have heard several warriors who often go to my stall to buy bullets complain before, saying that they want to tame war beasts but there is nothing in Transia except gnolls.
We can also bring back some ice bear and frost wolf cubs. These are our unique 'resources'! There are also nests of wind vultures, giant owls and thunder eagles deep in our mountain forests, which only mountain people can
A secret place found.
Not to mention the various alchemical materials produced in the Ancestral Grove, which the psychic masters of the Link Tower had to come to purchase before the Ten Years' War.
Wallander, the ancestral forest is much richer than we imagined. These resources are enough to hire those warriors to stay here for a long time and become good assistants for the mountain people to open up the forest.
This boxing championship is the best opportunity. We can bring some resources to open their eyes.
Also, I want you, the guardian who is now respected by all tribes, to select some powerful young people from various large tribes to participate in the competition. If possible, let them stay in Scarlet Castle for a long time to serve Governor Murphy.
Although Murphy said that he did not want to interfere with the traditions of the mountain people, as the ruled, we must also appropriately show some obedience."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Wallander stood up and threw the forest Holy Grail at hand into the mountain spring in front of him under Sharon's surprised gaze. The wooden Holy Grail sank when it touched the water and disappeared almost immediately into the depths of the clear spring water.
Seeing Sharon's curious gaze, the Eagle Knight explained while putting on his special forest-armed armor:
"This is a common characteristic of all Holy Grails. They will only appear in front of those candidates who meet the conditions in specific scenarios and give them the power of the Holy Grail. There is no need to worry about losing it. As long as the ancestral mountains and forests are still there, the Forest Holy Grail will always be there.
Stay here.
It will wait patiently in this pure mountain spring for the birth of the next Holy Grail Knight."
"I've always had a question."
Sharon flapped her wings and followed the Vulture Knight, who was over 3 meters tall and as tall as a giant. She asked in a low voice:
"The Forest Holy Grail was found in my ancestor's tomb. Doesn't it mean that in addition to being a berserker, my ancestor is also a Holy Grail Knight? But aren't Vaam and Avalon hostile?
Why can he be favored by two gods at the same time?
There is no mention of this incident in the records of the first Count Siko."
"The first Black Disaster broke out when the woodland mountain people first stepped out of their hometown. Your ancestors carried the Holy Grail and died on our land. Perhaps it was because the incident happened so suddenly that he did not have time to tell his descendants about the Holy Grail.
The mystery of.”
Knight Valander was still in the "myth" brought about by the power of the Holy Grail. He whispered:
"No one knows what happened at that time, but it cannot change the great cause that His Excellency Sicomaire has done. The mountain people's allegiance to Sicomaire also started from that time and continues to this day.
Sharon, don't think so wildly.
Your ancestor was definitely not a thief who wanted to monopolize power, he was a child of the mountains and forests, just like you."
"I know you are complimenting me, but your tone of voice is really weird. Can you please quickly change back to the rude Wallander before? I don't even dare to tell Sunny about your current situation. She will definitely
I’ll be worried.”
"I don't want to, but the power of the Holy Grail has changed me. Kudel is right. The Holy Grail once carried great things, and that is not a power that mortals can resist. Now I need an opportunity to regain my former self from the reshaping of the Holy Grail.
Self, rather than becoming a slave to the Holy Grail.
This is too difficult”
——
While the Ancestral Grove received news about the boxing championship and began to actively prepare for it, Maxim in Batasin City also received the same reminder.
He immediately understood that Lord Murphy had put his previous arrangements for the prisoners on the agenda.
So Maxim no longer hesitated. He almost immediately started the "selection" in the temporary barracks outside Batashin City. He could not bring all the Yankee criminals to the Scarlet Castle.
Fortunately, the civil servants in the administrative office had already explained the selection model clearly to the prisoners. After realizing that the Transians were not joking, but would really rely on personal force and expertise to reward status and status,
After giving them the opportunity to break away from the criminal career and quickly achieve success, the Yankee criminals also became excited.
Most of them have no interest in "restarting their lives".
But if even half of the promises of these vampires can be fulfilled, it means that they can change their innocent identities and resume their old business in the "hot land" of Transia, and even get the "start-up capital" gifted by those vampires.
Woolen cloth.
Maxim made it very clear.
Any boxer who can reach the second round of the rematch will receive a gift of 100 gold coins, and the bonus for entering the third round will be increased to 500 gold coins. If he can enter the finals, he will even be given the land deed of the Scarlet Castle business district and the right to form a guild.
.
Some brave guys asked if they could form a smuggler or black market guild, and Maxim's answer was quite clear.
As long as they can get to that point and withstand the pressure of the Blood Rat Gang, and are willing to obey the basic regulations of the administrative office, then they will naturally have a share of the vast territory in the sewers of Scarlet Castle.
As one of the optional camps left by the "development team" for young players, Murphy does not prohibit smugglers from appearing in his territory. There is definitely room for gray areas to exist in Transia, provided that these guys are really capable and in
We must be clear about issues of "big right and wrong".
After receiving the confirmed answer, the prisoners who were almost a little pursuing began to form gangs and gear up.
As Nords who grew up in the bitter cold land of the great wilderness, these Yankees have reproduced from generation to generation in an environment that is so harsh that they are not suitable for habitation. This has given them stronger bodies and better quality than the Zealanders and Ketites.
The Earl of White Mountain complained about his barbaric fighting spirit before, and things like the gladiatorial arena are quite common in Nordtov.
Although the situation there is different from that of Transia, the people are still tough and like to fight.
Not to mention that these guys are all "heroes" selected by the Yankees from rebels, soldiers and criminals from all over the country. Almost everyone has a good body, and they have never been afraid of anyone in terms of bravery and ruthlessness.
.
But when Maxim met these guys for the first time, he felt a unique aura. There were a few really capable guys hidden among these scum.
And under the current vigorous boxing selection process, those "masters" who were hiding have also begun to engage in private activities.
In a shadowed area at the edge of the barracks, several hooded guys were talking in a low voice.
They are all quite tall, there are men and women among the five of them, but what they have in common is that they are all taciturn, and some unique tattoos can be seen on the arms that occasionally poke out from under the hood.
They are not the kind of tattoos used by gangsters to show their ferocity. Those emblems are often simple but have a unique beauty. If I have to say it, they are somewhat similar to the tattoos that the psionic masters of the Tower of Rings tattooed on their skin.
But it also has a lot of religious ritual flavor.
This is not a secretive little team.
Because there are some younger brothers wandering around them to help them look out, but those guys are obviously not on the same path as these five people. Perhaps it is more similar to attachment and following?
"Turner! Are you ready?"
The leader of the five said to the people surrounded in a low voice:
"We have been guided here to observe for our God the changes and waves that are advancing under the surface of Transia. Our God's eyes have fallen on this place of suffering. The Black Disaster is a disaster, but there are also opportunities in it.
!
But we know that although you are traveling with us, you are not just here to spread the faith of our God.
You have your own mission and vows.
If my god has told you that what you seek is in Transia, then we will wish you good luck in your future, my brother."
"Thank you, Master Yuri."
The man named "Turner" pounded his fist hard on his chest. The chill wrapped around his five fingers was not an illusion, but more like a tangible manifestation of some kind of hard-finished skill and strength.
He said in a tired and tough tone:
"After I have completed the vows that I must complete in this world, I will return to you with supreme enthusiasm, return to our monastery, and devote my life to the scriptures of my God."
"This is the right way, and this is the way it should be."
The middle-aged man at the head nodded, but he still reminded:
"Turner, you are the keeper of the commandments, you are the keeper of the oaths, you are the one favored by the God of the North Wind. You must remember that this battle is only to fulfill the oath. We are not here to educate the Transians to follow the rules of the North Wind.
God’s admonitions are not intended to provoke disputes.
This land has its own destiny.
Never indulge in the myth of being brave and ruthless, let alone break the precepts recklessly just for the sake of temporary bravery.
Always remember it!
We ascetics are different from those murderous monk soldiers who have fallen into demonic obstacles. We never bully others, let alone use our strength to do evil."
"Thanks for the reminder, Master."
The monk named Turner humbly whispered:
"I will make good use of my power, and I am grateful to my brothers and sisters for accompanying me here. May all living beings listen to the teachings of the North Wind God, and may all living beings be full of courage to face all evil obstacles."
